Oh Lady Luck, Singing in the Bathtub- 1929 reprise

I have certainly delved into some unexpected YouTube territory, thanks to my Kitteh Blog. Music stuff. And, as I said in my header, "and occasionally some other stuff, maybe". This would be that.

And, this is from 1929. Yanno, 1929. Like, history repeats itself.


I couldn't find the lyrics of the opening song, by means of ample use of teh google, so I listened hard, and wrote them out as best I could.

Oh my calamity
Don’t bother me
Keep right on your way,
Whatever it takes
To make lucky breaks
Is what I’m needing today

Oh that’s not the place of my complaint
I hereby call upon my Patron Saint

Oh Lady Luck,
I’ve got you on my mind
So won’t you won’t please to kind me

Oh Lady Luck,
Don’t give my hopes a rest
And I’ll be happy as can be

Just stick around with me for a while
Show me your golden smile

Oh, Lady Luck
You know at times you could
So won’t you please be good to me?

Singing in the Bathtub- the follow up dancing thingy in the YouTube, with the women dressed in ballet tutus and dice accessories, and tap dancing frantically is to the tune of "Singing in the Bathtub" also from 1929. "Everybody's happy, singing in the tub."



Here is a brilliant fantasy take via an inspired YouTuber, featuring a Keith Olbermann on Countdown, to the tune of "Singing in the Bathtub".



Huge H/T to Grover Norquist, a man before and after his time. In case you've somehow missed the pertinent quote and sentiment, from here: Norquist is famous for his widely quoted comment that he wants to shrink government:

"down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

Yep, we're all dancing around like ballerinas, tap dancing frantically and wearing our dice accessories. As depicted in the first YouTube. I do wonder what Grover Norquist would say about ballerina tutus...
